Truist Financial reported a near 31% drop in third-quarter profit on Thursday as the lender's interest income from mortgages and credit-card debt declined while it allocated more funds towards rainy-day reserves to cover potential sour loans. Analysts had forecast the boost from higher interest income would diminish as banks pay more to retain deposits and prevent clients from shifting to money-market funds for higher risk-free returns. Truist's net interest income for the three months ended Sept. 30 fell 4.3% to $3.62 billion, compared with a year earlier.
